AD193A/AD194A PCI-X 4 Gigabit Fibre Channel and Gigabit Ethernet Combination Card Overview

Hardware and Software Installation Procedure

Step 3: Connect the card to the network

• Secure the card and reassemble the system.

Step 3: Connect the card to the network

• Attach the connector from a LAN cable to the card (Figure 1 on page 11). Do the same for the second port. For

1000Base-T, cabling must be Cat 5 UTP or better with RJ-45 connectors. For operating distances, refer to the “Cable

Specifications” section of this document. Note: LAN A is the bottom RJ-45 connector.

• Attach the free end of the LAN cable to any unused port on the switch. The Base-T connections on the card operate at 10

or 100 Mbit/s in either full- or half-duplex modes and at 1000 Mbit/s only in full-duplex mode. Set the ports on the card

and on your switch according to the following table.

If you are using Jumbo Ethernet frames, ensure that:

— all end stations on a given LAN

have the same maximum transmission unit (MTU) setting.

— intermediate stations such as switch ports in your LAN have an MTU equal to or greater than the end station’s MTU.

Step 4: Connect the fibre channel devices

• Attach the LC connector from a fibre channel cable to the fibre channel connector on the card (Figure 1). For fibre

channel, the cable must be 50 micron MMF. If the remote connection is type SC, you will need an LC-to-SC cable. Do

the same for the other connector.

• Plug the other end of the fibre channel cable into the connector on your fibre channel switch or device.

Step 5: Prepare to install the software

• Ensure power cable is connected to system. Power up the system.

•Log in as root.

• Check that the /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, and /sbin directories are in your PATH using the command: echo $PATH

• Check the HP-UX version by entering: uname -r

# uname -r

B.11.11

1. In the Jumbo Frames discussion, “LAN” means that the end stations do not have any routers or layer 3 switches in

between them.
